If you place your right foot forward, you are considered to ride goofy foot as opposed to regular/natural foot where your left foot is forward. These terms are simply referred to as Regular or Goofy. Interestingly enough, the term 'goofy' comes from a 1937 Walt Disney Short, "Hawaiian Holiday," where Goofy surfs with his right foot forward. This term still holds true today in all board sports, e.g., surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding.
If you wanna see Goofy surf (actually catch a wave) go to the 7:40 mark. This is where the term originates.
